Spray Jones has videos of holding a torch to closed cell foam for 3 minutes and it hardly does anything. Is yours open cell?

I would love to purchase this house blueprint. Definitely interested!

The key take away I got from this clip is, is to never pay anyone in full until the end, you gotta keep that carrot in front of the subs to want to finish what they started. Thanks !

what CAD software did you use to create the home design?

How is the moulding not going to split when the wood expands in the summer?

You think to much

Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Christian Slater?

A GC? Unless the rules were different you can be owner builder around here if you use a GC. You're suppose to be the GC. 25k fine here

I love it teach them young, it will lead to a lifetime of creativity ❤

Was this your last video? Really good information. Thanks.

Flaky contractors are my biggest fear in self-building my house. You just can't trust people to do the right thing most times.

Worth watching for the handyman suggestion all by itself.

Way to go friend, working with your child

Great job. Thanks.

Just finished building my house, and your points are spot on. I did most of the work myself except Sheetrock, finishing concrete, framing roof, cabinets, plumbing, shingles. Took an enormous amount of time and effort, but the experience was second to none!

wait im confused, if ur an owner-builder, how did u have a general contractor involved? I thought that being an owner-builder meant you were basically your own general contractor. could you explain that a bit more to me?

You should share the name of the framing company that scams its customers. Having info like that could save a lot of owner builders from getting scammed themselves.

I'm about to get started, great info

Why weren't you using a quantity surveyor report?

Did you say you got your construction loan with no money down? Did you already own the land or was it part of the construction loan?

What a great project. Complicated build with a bunch of great details. This deserves so much more attention.

Well one story houses also known as ranch style can be economical to build up to a point. The point being 1500 sq. ft. of living space or less. When you start to go beyond that, it becomes cheaper to add a second floor than to expand the footprint of the home.

Great Info!

And the Concrete should have dried smooth if done with detail and care!

Why didn't your concrete math for foundation accurately reflect the yardage needed?

No. Honeycombs are from unskilled installers... Vibration addresses the lack of consolidation and I did not see anyone vibrating behind your one man installer! Infact, this could be a structural issue if this is at your beams... I would never recommend this concrete installer... I also did not notice any tamper on your job site... 🧐 Hmm You doing the stucco on those walls will be a nightmare and you should not save dollars by attempting to practice on this wall.

What a waste of time and money.

I’m also doing this now in Washington however there are a few things that I’m worried about. If lot is small where does one put stock pile of dirt? How do you know how deep you have to dig in preparation for a foundation? Reading the plan I don’t see where it even specifies foundation walls only the footing heights

Your points are dead on...the one other thing I'd add is to HOLD your various contractors to their quote. I had contractor after contractor come hat in hand saying they " didn't understand why it came to more then they quoted but would I please pay the additional"...yada yada yada of course wanting to be the good guy I did. Never again and I'm sure your aware that in BC- your supposed to hold back 10% of contracted price for 45 days to allow for default by them. In the courts your only going to get dinged for 10% of any liens applied to you so the 10 you hold back for 45 days covers that contingency...thanks for the vid. :)

Can you share the flat $10,000 fee help you build link please.

I keep trying to look up that site help you build but I can't find it is it the right title

👍👍👍👍👍

Something else you have to consider is that you are responsible for the payment of everyone from employees of the contractors to material suppliers and even if you pay the contractor in full if they fail to pay a supplier or employees you cvan end up with a mechanics lien and have to pay for what you thought was already paid for sending your budget south. Also you may need to hire labor that is not lisenced which is legal but it will make you an employer and you will need to register as an employer and carry workers comp insurance, deduct taxes and supervise the work. If someone gets hurt your home owners insurance more than likely will deny any claim and your budget could be adversly affected. Get proof from your contractor that material suppliers are paid employees and sub contractors are all paid in full or pay them yourself. There are laws you would never of thought of that will not be in your favor if an issue should arise so make sure you have an understanding of what could happen if you neglect paying attention to how payments are made and disputes regarding them get handled.

Those framers were scumbags. Their names should be put out there. They was paid to do a job So they cheated you out of a service that was due to you. Been there.

7:15 I thought I was tripping but I'm not 😂😂

I am a finish carpenter the only thing I don’t do is stairs. I build cabinets , base, crown , doors , casings ! I hv about 75,000 in tools? Licensed/bonded! Tons of ppl let pros do everything except finish? And it shows terribly ! Miters all open R full of caulk? Casing on doors and windows off the reveal ? Doors ghosting , reveals off , don’t close right!! Ect.,. Don’t forget the finish guy! A house that big might be 6 weeks or more ?

I'm about to be owner builder on a 2500 square ft 2 story block house. I have a lender lined up for construction. "NORMADY" just concerned about a lender to finance the home after the build

I'm just doing a remodel on our house and acting as a owner-builder. Really appreciate this video on things to keep in mind.

Great video and great advice - we have done this twice and also painted the inside. Just some advice for next time. We were advised to insulate the walls around any big open space - this would avoid the echo effect. Worked like a charm and we did that ourselves in just a few hours.

I am here in Central Texas and leaning towards doing exactly what you did. This gives me confidence. I may be reaching out to you for more inspiration.

Great content!

6:18 Sure, it's easy enough for you. You can teleport piles of aggregate.

Im just about to do this soon. In permit phase. You mind me chatting with you for a few minutes for pointers?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Very helpful
